This post is dedicated to Brandon Schubert who completed his first ever half marathon recently. Needless to say I know the type of commitment and effort that goes into training for one of these. He has come a long way since he started running and more than anything I think its awesome that he has stuck with it as not many people do. Running is one of those things that grows and grows on you to the point where people look at you when you tell them that you went for a run yesterday and they ask how far and you say oh just an easy 20 miles.
You can see from the sign below that I was there in spirit thanks to Lindsay. Although I am sure everyone was thinking "What the heck does a Japanese lunch box have to do with being fast?", I am sure her support helped him get through some of the tough parts in the race.
Not sure what the future will hold for Mr. Schubert, I know he has expressed some interest in Club 26.2 and if he decides to commit to it I'll help in anyway he needs me to. But no matter what he decides, I hope that Brandon realizes accomplishments like this are huge and define you as a person...deep down you realize that there really is nothing you can't do if you work hard at it.
